The South Korean immersive music event, known for K-pop stars and massive water fights, is expanding to the 6ix.
Waterbomb, one of South Korea's largest entertainment and music festivals, is officially coming to Toronto in 2027, according to reporting from BlogTO.
The Seoul-based event is characterized by a high-concept blend of live music performances, internationally acclaimed K-pop personalities, and large-scale water fights where attendees are soaked by water hoses. Organizers announced the expansion via Instagram, urging Toronto residents to subscribe to a newsletter for more information and early access.
While specific dates and venue details for the Toronto event have not yet been released, BlogTO notes that the festival typically occurs in the spring or summer. Social media users have already begun requesting specific performers for the Toronto roster, including singer and dancer Wonho and boy bands MONSTA X and ATEEZ.
The announcement comes as the festival navigates a broader North American expansion. BlogTO reports that organizers previously postponed shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas due to "operational challenges." While a new date for the Los Angeles event has not been set, the Las Vegas show has been rescheduled from September 2026 to June 2027.
